Mans Best Friend. Scratch That - Love. (Ch2)

The morning light came in dim streaks. Beneath the fog I sensed the fallen. Gregg couldn't change back yet though.
His body woke when I tensed and I told him we mustn't speak. He understood when he felt the presence of them. Violent delights that brought us deaths mourning. I knew that the tower would be the safest place for us, and I knew that Gregg had trouble with this sort.
At 7:30AM They were still outside.
8AM They stood there.
At 1PM Gregg was growing restless.
Finally at sunset, the fallen were forced to retreat.
And I spoke "Darling."
"Mmh?"

"How do you feel?"
"I don't know."
"I see. Well dear, come with me now."
I lead him down the corridor to one of the secret exits. We went through the bookcase and down seventeen flights of stairs, and sometime later discovered the entrance to the kitchen cupboard. He was very interested in this I could tell. I knew that corridors exits would become useful in the future.
I spoke to him in a low voice, still slightly cautious and after all, I had to explain things to him.
I told him everything that night, as I made him a large dinner.
We sat twitching our tails and ears forcing down a large meal until it reached late into the darkness of 11:20PM that night.

"Gregg. Come with me, out to the garden. There's a lovely sight tonight."
"Um, okay."He said and I clutched the treasures in my pockets.
I walked ahead and he came a little ways behind, giving me the time I needed.
I chose our favorite spot, beneath the roses and vines where a stone bench stood and if you looked around, all you saw was the sky. Gregg caught up with me. "I love it here, Sam."
"I know. I love it too."
Long moment of silence.
"Hey, Gregg. We've been together for a long time now haven't we?"
"Yes my dear, we have."
"I love you Gregg"

"I love you too." And with that I started to kneel and his face lit brighter than the stars with my favorite smile. the smile that told me I could do this. I took two deep breaths. And got down on one knee.
"Gregg Knight," Pause. I pulled the ring out.
"Will you marry me?For the rest of all eternity?"
His face was frozen so happily, that I wanted to reach out and touch him to make sure he would still move. He eventually grasped a deep breath.
"Yes, a thousand times yes! I do I do." Nothing compared to this moment. As I slowly took this ring and placed it on his finger.
And then I pulled out the watch. Handed it to him.
"Look on the back." He turned it over and his eyes were lit with surprise.
"I love it."

We sat on the bench and neither one of us could leave each others eyes. I could've sworn I heard our hearts beat again, one last time. I leaned over to give him the first kiss of our engagements sealing, and he met my lips. The kiss was long. It lasted hours in my head, though. That moment of perfection when they touched and the sadness felt when they would part, but only to meet again.
I took his hand and I held it. And he interlocked his fingers in mine and squeezed my hand giving me the shyest smile I've ever seen.
"I am proud to call you my fiance, my dear." He broke the silence.
"As to you, my sweet." I reply, still focused on him.

We laid out under the stars that night, just him and I. Perhaps the man on the moon. He fell asleep in my arms sometime between 2 and 3AM. And I snuggled him up against my chest and did just the same. But now morning had come. The suns first rays were coming up and I opened my eyes to Greggs sleeping body, still outside. I pulled him up with me and we slouched inside to collapse on the bed. It was grand. Carved by cherry trees wood and the laced blankets by the finest materials. It was a 4 poster bed but very large compared to others. I laid Gregg down and pulled the sheets over his thin body. There I joined him holding his sleepish limp body in my arms.
We lay together. For many hours he slept. And I eventually dosed off with him.
It had the simplicity of us in it. We love, speak, and hold each other very so close.
That night I dreamt of him again, the day we would say our vows. As corny as I found gay marriage, I looked forward to this..
